A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

“I guess it is possible after all”

I’ve been working on software today, so there hasn’t been time to write, but I wanted to show you this — Pauly Unstoppable reaches 1 1/2″ nostrils! Biggest stretched nostrils I’ve seen yet. It’s pretty intense… you can see the inside of his head!

    that is crazy looking! im wondering if it creates any complications since so much of his inner nose is exposed.

    kudos for having the courage to do something so radically different.

    Wow Pauly! Congratulations on your patience and determination!

    I adore his complimentary stretched septum – it adds a certain je ne sais quoi!

    A septum spike through that noise would be totally awesome.

    In fact, I think Kaos needs to start making silicone septum spikes. They’d be all wobbly and awesome.
